Derby County Makes Formal Approach for Blackburn Manager John Eustace

“I’m confident that Steve [Waggott] and Suhail [Sheikh] will reach out to discuss our situation. It would disappoint me if they chose not to,” Eustace stated, indicating the importance of communication between him and the club’s management.

In February, Eustace, a former player with 62 caps for Derby County, took the reins at Ewood Park. Since his appointment, Blackburn Rovers have struggled, securing only two victories in their last 11 league matches, a performance that has been a source of frustration for the head coach.

“Being away from my family frequently is tough, and like anyone dedicated to their job, I’m fully committed to ensuring Blackburn remains competitive in the league,” Eustace reflected on his challenging balance between personal and professional life. He is determined to restore the club to former glory, emphasizing the passionate support from the fanbase. “The supporters here are exceptional, and it’s clear that everyone affiliated with the club desires success.”

Eustace has been the subject of speculation regarding potential job changes throughout the season. He linked this attention to the collective performance and hard work of his current squad. “It’s part of the job to be associated with other roles, but it primarily reflects the effort of our players,” he remarked.

His history with Derby County adds complexity to his current role, having played for the club during two separate periods. Initially, he joined on loan from Watford in the 2008-09 season before making a permanent move that lasted two years starting in 2013. Currently, the Rams are facing difficulties, sitting 22nd in the Championship; however, they managed to break a streak of seven consecutive league defeats with a draw against Norwich City on Saturday.
